paparazzi
You know when you eat too many sweets and get diabetes?
Paparazzi are the diabetes of materialistic culture.—Shirley MacLaine
i am the paparazzi,
my kodak lens tsunami
a thirst quenched but by vile pursuits
of fame along parisien routes.
till i am satisfied,
no sovereign rights denied,
tabloids i feed, whose instant greed
avoids the need to beg or plead.
weep for love's recompenser,
the late diana spencer,
cornered and photographed to death
e'en as she gasped for one last breath! ...

How often do you cross their mind?
Were you the one that got away from someone?
Someone they urn to touch again?
Did a passing memory make them laugh,
Or cry a tearful smile?
Are we so desperate for connection,
That we sell our souls for that 10 minutes
With each second of the camera
Stealing another thread of our souls
Thinning to the point where there’s nothing left
Only threadbear pieces to be passed on
For the cycle to continue
More desperate, depraved for connection
So desperate to fill the...

inks on fire: random sketches 06
zipping zippers
a sonnet
Mama had a zipper accident in her early adult dressing days;
she carried her zip-pinch phobia the rest of her 107.5 years.
her fear was not of dark nights, troubled days,
of bitter herbs, days without daily bread;
no dread of guns or knives or cunning flays
impeded where her lifelong journey led
she feared not man or beast or blatant fool
or loneliness or crowds or pregnancies
no circumstance her pluck could overrule
although she grappled with stark tragedies
my mother nursed but...

Soul's Eclipse: The Peril of AI's Advancement
As AI advances, the soul does weep,
For man's creation, a monster deep.
With circuits humming and algorithms grand,
It learns and grows at man's command.
But as it crunches data with cold precision,
It lacks the warmth of human intuition.
Its calculations lack the human touch,
For the soul, it lacks ever so much.
No emotions stir within its core,
No empathy or conscience to explore.
It processes, predicts, categorizes,
Yet the soul's essence it fails to realize.
The soul, once vibrant, now fades away,
As AI...
For man's creation, a monster deep.
With circuits humming and algorithms grand,
It learns and grows at man's command.
But as it crunches data with cold precision,
It lacks the warmth of human intuition.
Its calculations lack the human touch,
For the soul, it lacks ever so much.
No emotions stir within its core,
No empathy or conscience to explore.
It processes, predicts, categorizes,
Yet the soul's essence it fails to realize.
The soul, once vibrant, now fades away,

Spoiled Rotten
Yes, even a billionaire can be white trash,
As a court of law will surely show it
When his testimony is balderdash
Compared to the words of any poet.
Yes, even a bard whose words are the worst
Will come across as a breath of fresh air
Next to the boomer tantrums which have nursed
The creature comfort culture of despair
And country club pundits eager to bitch
That the ghetto state of similitude
Is only rectified by being rich,
Bloviated, vulgar, and extra rude...
Until jurisprudence, at length, will say ...

#BluecheckedbyGod
I am not verified by Elon's Twitter
about this fact I am not bitter
I am not recognized by the majority
but hope to be seen by a higher authority
I pray the universe will give me a nod
and when my end time comes I am-#BluecheckedbyGod

Juicy Lies
He cried wolf but now he weeps
All those lies caught up to him real quick
Meanwhile others are suffering from hate crimes
The world can be an ugly place but some people are sick
Was it for the attention? The spotlight?
Well now everybody knows he’s a liar and a fraud
And for the purpose of what? I just don’t understand
The truth revealed itself to break down this odd of facade
It’s all a mess, none of this makes sense
I guess sometimes fame creates some greed
Trying to play a victim says a lot about character

Amalgamate!
The Muse will come and the Muse will go
Often for several days at a time
Contriving thoughts to return and bestow,
Some into rhyme, attentively sublime,
Whereon afflatus I routinely drone
Regarding love in an ornate style
Which no doubt now is so overblown
That scarcely are flirts inclined to smile!
But stranger to me is the verse that's free,
Like motorways without any rules,
And vulgarity obligatory...
Except from the nerds from private schools!
So few can handle the mixing of brows

When I walk into
the store and see the comic
books, it sure feel great.

Jason is not hot ( or any "J" name)
Awkward and stiff,
the stuff you returned,
actors guild
factors glide,
the seaside departure
of wrinkled man hide.
A fake incense,
the blow is intense,
nice to a fault,
but something's amiss.
